On May 17, 1972 he married Charlotte Malaspina Alden, who survives. They spent the last 50 years in Waynesburg raising their family.

He was a proud member of the UMWA, District 4, Local# 6330 and served multiple terms as Chairman of the Safety Committee at Gateway Coal Mine in Lippincott, from where he retired.
